I know I just mentioned this BBC radio show, Go4it a few weeks ago, but I am happy to write about it again because this week they had one of my favourite authors as their main guest.
Cathy Cassidy, author of Scarlett, Dizzy, Lucky Star and many more, gave a great interview. She’s one of my faves because she writes these really great contemporary books for tweens and teens that have real families with lots of real issues. I remember reading something once where a teen said that she loved Laurie Halse Anderson’s Prom because it was like finally reading a book about kids like her. I think Cassidy is providing stories for many kids out there who don’t live in traditional families. Plus they’re well-written, unusual, and entertaining. If you’re not familiar with her books, you should be. I’ve just realized that she has some out that I haven’t read, so I think I’ll take my own advice! By the way, I really liked Indigo Blue.
